A HOME WITH PERSONALITY
We offer for sale some of the most desirable property in
Oxford. Here, on more than an acre of land, right in the
heart of this delightful neighboring town, you will find a
lovely, old home which, although it has been tastefully re
decorated, has retained all of its original charm.
A wide veranda extends across the front and around one
side of the house. The two front rooms each has a door open
ing from the front veranda, and French Doors from the side
of the living room bring in the outdoors, as well as adding to
the convenience. There are seven large rooms, and 3 baths
which are so grouped that two, or even three apartments
can be easily arranged. The spacious attic would provide
several more large rooms, at a minimum cost. Gas heaters
assure cozy warmth in cold weather, and high ceilings and
cross ventilation invite cool summer breezes.
This home sits on a lot that fronts three streets, and is
surrounded by fine old trees and well-planted grounds. And
ing bulbs are bursting into bloom all over the place.
ffpl:'ere is a large building on the back of the lot, and the low
er side is more than adequate in size for another house, with
plenty of space between. On the upper side, facing Emory
Street, there are two 5 room houses, which are in excellent
condition. These would bring a nice income as rental proper
v This estate can be bought as a whole; or the owner is
willing to divide it, selling the larger house by itself, and the
two smaller houses as a unit.
No appointment is needed to see this attractive place.
Just call us, at your convenience, and we’ll drive over and
take a closer look. It will be well worth your time, and there
is absolutely no obligation. We are at your service.
